UNITED STATES HENRY JAMES JONES, OF SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA.

NECKTIE.

Application filed April 7, 1925. Serial No. 21,294.

To all whom it may concern:

Be 1t known that I, HENRY JAMES J ONES,

a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Sydney, county of Cumberland, and State of New SouthlVales, Australia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Neckties, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to neckties of the type in which a lining is inserted within a covering, and has been devised to sim- -plify the process of manufacture of a tie which will retain its original shape and set even after continued use.

The invention comprises a process of manufacture and the production of a necktie of tubular form having the lining in close contact at all points with the inner faces of the plain or ornamented material which forms the covering.

The lining itself is tubular in form or may be converted into a tube during the process of manufacture of the tie. A single seam is utilized to retain the lining in position and to fasten the raw edges of the covering to each other. v

In the process of manufacture a flattened tube or a folded strip of lining material is placed over a folded strip of covering material which hasthe pattern, if any, on the inside of the strip. A. single seam is then formed along the raw edges of the layers. The two lining layers and one of the covering layers are then held together to form one side of a tube, the other layer of the covering material forming the other side of the tube. This tube is then turned inside out and the seam positioned near the rear mid line.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a plan of a necktie;

Figure 2 is asectional elevation at any point in the length of the tie expanded to show the tubular structure;

Figure 3 is a sectional elevation showing one stage of the process;

F'gure 4 is a similar section having a tubular lining. I

A covering 10 in the form of a flattened tube is lined with a closely fitting and relatively inextensible material 11 which is also in the form of a flattened tube. A single seam 12 secures the rear edges of the covering 10 to each other and to the lining.

As shown in Figure 3 a folded strip of lining material .11 is placed over a folded strip of covering material 10 with the raw edges superimposed. A seam 12 is formed at the edges 13. The three. upper layers are held together to form one side of a tube which is then turned inside out.

In Figure 4 the lining 11 is already in the form of a tube which is flattened and placed over the folded strip 10.

I claim 1. A necktie, comprising two strips of material united along both of their longitudinal edges by a single line of stitches forming a pair of flattened tubes, one of said tubes and the line of stitches being entirely enclosed within the other tube.

2. The method of forming a necktie, which consists in bending a piece of fabric along its longitudinal center line thereby toform a flattened tube having superimposed raw edges, bending another piece of fabric along its longitudinal center line to form a second flattened tube having superimposed raw edges, superimposing one tube upon the other, passing a line of stitches through the four raw edges of the'tubes, and turning one of said tubes inside out thereby to enclose the other tube and the line of stitches.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.

HENRY JAMES JONES.
